A man who police say exposed himself to teenage girls near Gunn High School was arrested Friday, Palo Alto police announced.

Thirty-one-year-old Muni Vishwa Nadan, who goes by “Nathan,” was booked into San Jose Main Jail and charged with one count of indecent exposure.

Police took four reports since September about a man approaching girls near the high school while driving a silver sedan, police said. Twice, he asked the girls if they needed a ride, and in two cases he called the girls “pretty.” On Jan. 1 he exposed himself, police said.

The man was driving a silver Ford Focus with several decals, including a “Hot Wheels” logo, police said.

Police ask that anyone with information about these or similar incidents call Detective Scott Wong at 650-329-2140.

In addition to evacuating 10 neighboring homes, deputies restricted pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area while the sheriff's office bomb squad "safely disposed" of the explosives, officials said.
